Im in a toss up on staying or not.

I chose the wrong faction and the wrong class to take to 50. Meaning (as someone mention riding the zerg wave while it lasts) im on the recieving end of the zerg wave. Endgame invasions and world events i usually have to sit out, waiting for the spawn camp to end. Yes i know its a pvp server and all, but a terribly balanced pvp server, such that guardian cant really participate in these events unless defiant let us, which they dont.

PvP is absolutly terrible, unless your the right class, which im not.

I would normally reroll, but joining the easymode zerg side doesnt appeal to me, neither does going though the same exact content on a new character, since theres only one path to 50.

From what endgame pvp is looking like now, its redoing all the old instances in epic, and a few endgame only instances and raids.

All this negativity aside, i am full aware that there is absolutly nothing else out there at the moment.

I voted yes.. I have my 6 months sub to figure out how the class / soul / proffession all works in the end. I like this game over all that is out currently. my server is packed with players.. My casual play style works well with this game. Enjoying the enviroment and the community. Until SWtor comes out sometime in the near future Rift will be filling the void.

I have absolutely no idea what server you are on but my server has not dropped even close to that amount. Sure it went from full pop to high pop, but my queues have been at most 6 minutes. Ever. That was at 1 in the morning on a thursday. There isn't always going to be people doing rifts, in every single area. Usually 4 or 5 open up at a time, you have to go find the rift with people doing it, since they tend to group up at one, and go do the others after that.

Rift is different. I like the crafting and the classes to a point. They upped the amount of rifts/invasions the final weekend of the last beta...I thought it was a stress test well the game went live and there are constant rifts all over the place. Often times there arent enough people in the area to close all the rifts and if your a solo player or only in a group with another person or 2 good luck gettin the rifts closed and ya die alot. The game quickly lost its fun factor and 12 days later I canceled my subscription. I asked for a refund from trion and they said no you tried it out enough... well everyone kept sayin get higher level so I grinded for the 2 weeks and was worse. The game does have a lot of possibilities but their attitude on a refund was poor... and I choose where I spend my money and it wont be with them.

Ouch. If 46% are leaving after the first month, where will that game be in 6 months ? Not a scientfic poll but over 600 votes that's a good sample.

Not really. It didn't have another option, and it is open to manipulation by those who aren't even playing the game. I'd take those numbers with a truck load of salt. In this context, they have very little value.

Actually, I MIGHT stay past the 1st month. I was pretty disappointed originally with the game but after my guild had a 20v20 war with the opposing faction over a major rift & we stomped them I kind of saw the light. If something like that could happen on a regular basis it could certainly entice me to stay. Keep in mind though that once SW:ToR releases its lights out for my Rift account. I've already told myself that SW:ToR will hold me for at least 2 years but hopefully 4 or more & I'm determined to stick it out even if it has troubles in the beginning cause imo, if BW can't do it nobody can.

I think it has great potential and i still can't get over how polished it is for a launch title, but a few niggles here and there have made me want to login in less and less recently.

I'm mostly a solo player. I find the mob density over the top in many areas and the rifts too numerous now. It's just kind of worn me down having to fight mobs all the time just going from a to b. Playing a paladin/reaver probably dosen't help but i enjoy tanks. In gloamwood currently and just riding your mount along the roads between those spiders is a chore. Root, dismount,run, mount, root, dismount, run gets irksome. respawn rates on some mobs is insane also. I've had a few occasions where mobs almost instantly respawn before i even looted the corpse.

Not major problems and i'm guessing it will be tweaked somewhat over the coming weeks, but for now i'm gonna pass. I will definitely be keeping my eye on the game though.

Cancelled my sub 2 days ago. Got to 50, completed more than half the expert dungeons and was not impressed at all. They literally took some boss fights directly from WoW. The gear isnt even a huge improvement, itll just end up being grinding experts for plaques. Then for PvP, itll just be grinding prestige and favor. Just very monotonous and no feeling of immersion and never felt rewarded from anything.

The progression in this game is too fast and too easy and didn't feel rewarded for anything I did for one moment. Didn't have to drive of desire to log in to finish the last 3 expert dungeons. The raid rifts and raid quests (stillmoor and shimmersand) were a joke.

The game was really well made, I was impressed with how smooth everything was and how stuff was fixed immediately but like I said, the content just got stale fast.

52% retention rate based on this poll. Most likely it will be the lower industry standard of 40% retention rate, each month, until the next big thing comes out (~6 months from now). My prediction stands strong with Rift.

The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

Yeah, I'll be staying... for now. Got a warrior to 50 and having fun with a mage, but it's all starting to get a bit familiar with rep and gear and PvP points. Founders pricing is cheap enough that I've decided to shell out for the next 3 months, but don't see myself staying beyond that.

If my loathing to even login today is any indication, definitely not.

I might just be in a funk, but grinding dailies, warfronts, or grouping PUGs for gear just doesn't sound fun. Dungeon grouping just isn't fun in general. World pvp is too uncommon, wafronts are a joke, and I just don't like daily grinding at all.
